Chapter 29

Rina

Traveling in wolf form has gotten swifter now that I have my new wolf.

It feels odd, being able to keep up with the gods. Their forms are larger than me, shaggy and built, but I have speed on my side. The wind seems to almost dance beneath my paws as I follow Thale towards the mountaintops where Sky Pack awaits us.

I'm beginning to wonder if I'm something more than just an ordinary wolf who can strengthen bonds and influence others. Sometimes I can feel the magic of the gods around me, even when I haven't been invited into their channeling.

Almost as if I'm channeling the magic myself.

We've brought a small contingent of warriors with us, though kept most on pack lands. Lucian sent word in advance that Teller's army hasn't arrived yet. Worried it was some kind of trap, Thale made sure to let the coven know to keep the wards strong, and sent half a dozen warrior patrols out.

But Ali has come with us, using a traveling spell to keep up. She has a bundle of herbs and potion bottles strapped to her back, and seems bright-eyed and energetic.

Yesterday, I was afraid she'd burned herself out, and might never be the same again. Today, she glows with white energy and vibrates with excitement. It's as if the power she's drawn on has changed her already. Her eyes glow white just like the general's did.

It makes me wary, but I shake the feeling off. Ali is nothing like Teller. She won't let the ancient magic change her.

We meet escorts at the edge of the pack lands, who bring us on a meandering switchback path up the mountain. I can see how Sky Pack has gotten by for so long without human invasion or threats from vampires. Just getting to the heart of their lands is a journey all on its own.

The air grows thin the further up we go. A chill settles on my fur, and I'm thankful for its thick warmth. Just as I think we couldn't possibly go any higher, the path levels out, and we walk between two cliffs into a town built into the mountainside.

Buildings made of stone rise up out of the cliffs, surrounding more traditional, recently-built houses and strips built on flat land. The ground is rocky shale beneath our paws, and I spot goats along with yard chickens, but otherwise, it could be any other pack. There's even a Mating Circle rising into the cliffs on the far side of town, seven columns surrounding a single plinth.

I spot Lucian right away. He's in the town square, standing on a riser near a sculpted marble water fountain. Dozens of people surround him, looking up into his face as he gives some sort of speech.

As we move closer to him, I realize that he isn't standing on a riser. He's hovering above the ground, his wind powers keeping him afloat.

And we aren't the only ones moving in his direction. All around the town, werewolves come out of their houses and finish their business, headed straight towards him.
